Steps to Use Masking in Filmora Mac

As discussed, users can apply different shapes as a mask for their videos. Let us have a look at the step-by-step guide on how to use this feature:

Step 1. Add Video and Access Mask Tab

As you launch Wondershare Filmora on your Mac, click the Create Project button to start a video project. Continue on the next window to choose the Import button within the Media tab to add your video file. Once it is imported, navigate to the Mask tab from the right-panel for further editing.

Step 2. Select Masking Layer

Filmora offers some preset masking options across the section, which includes the basic shapes, free hand masking, and AI Mask feature as well. While this can help you automatically determine the best masking option, you can also select any of the Custom Mask available across the drop-down menu. Not only that, click the Add button to import an external mask to your video.

Step 3. Manage Basic Masking Settings

You can add more than one mask across your video, which is visible in the Mask Layers section. To make simple changes to your mask layer, select one and adjust its dimensions across the preview window. Not only that, you can change the overall dynamics of the masking layer using the options across the drop-down adjacent to the layer.

Step 4. Adjust Further Parameters and Export

With all major changes done, make specific edits to your masking layer by managing the parameters like Position, Opacity, Width, and more. To add a specific effect on your mask shape, choose an appropriate style within the Mask Stroke section. After making all edits, look for the Export button to save your masked video.
